Chapter 2187: Chapter 2188: Can Outlast Anyone
Qin Fangbin didn’t answer Ye Xunhuan’s words, instead, he chuckled lightly and said, "Aren’t you surprised that there’s someone behind me whom even the king has to pay attention to?"
"I am indeed surprised." Ye Xunhuan nodded directly, admitting it: "But what I’m more curious about is, who is behind you, or are you afraid to say, or can’t say!"
Qin Fangbin didn’t immediately respond to Ye Xunhuan’s words, but fell into silence.
Seeing Qin Fangbin silent, Ye Xunhuan didn’t rush him immediately but waited calmly.
As time passed second by second, the silent atmosphere in the hospital room became somewhat stifling.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Fangbin slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Ke Qinghong!"
Ke Qinghong!
Upon hearing these three words, Ye Xunhuan’s eyebrows immediately knitted together.
The name was unfamiliar to Ye Xunhuan; he had never heard anyone mention it.
But if the Venerable were here, he definitely wouldn’t be surprised because he knew Ke Qinghong and had even confronted him, and Ke Qinghong had once gone to Jiangzhong City to deal with Ming Yue.
However, Ye Xunhuan did not know this.
"Who is Ke Qinghong?"
"With your information network, figuring out who Ke Qinghong is shouldn’t be difficult, should it?"
Qin Fangbin didn’t tell Ye Xunhuan who Ke Qinghong was, but wanted Ye Xunhuan to figure it out himself.
Ye Xunhuan immediately caught the meaning in Qin Fangbin’s words, so he didn’t ask Qin Fangbin again, but instead turned the topic: "I wonder why the king is looking for Ke Qinghong..."
"When you find out who Ke Qinghong is, the answers you’re looking for will surface with it." Qin Fangbin still didn’t answer Ye Xunhuan’s question, again letting Ye Xunhuan investigate for himself.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but show a look of disappointment on his face. He could have quickly gotten the answer, but now Qin Fangbin said nothing, only telling him to investigate on his own.
In summary, Qin Fangbin mentioned so much but only one name was useful, the rest were just useless talk.
Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled a breath, then opened his mouth again, "Since you won’t say anything and want me to investigate myself, why did you find me?"
"Won’t or can’t tell me, want me to guess?"
Qin Fangbin laughed, "If I let you guess, you’d probably be furious, right?"
"Probably not, but I might just turn and leave." Ye Xunhuan said very seriously, "You should know, the only reason I came over is out of consideration for your daughter’s sake, otherwise, even if you died in front of me, I wouldn’t care."
Qin Fangbin believed Ye Xunhuan’s words, after all, Ye Xunhuan is the overlord of the underground world with a heart that has long been like stone, unshaken by external matters.
Not to mention, Qin Fangbin and Ye Xunhuan had some prior conflicts.
"I believe you!" Qin Fangbin nodded slightly, "Actually, I asked you here just to have you do me a favor!"
"Help you?" Ye Xunhuan was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Do you think that’s likely?"
"Possible!" Qin Fangbin said very seriously.
"Why?"
"Because by helping me, you’ll get something from me." Qin Fangbin spoke with grave seriousness.
Then, as if afraid Ye Xunhuan would overthink, Qin Fangbin added, "The things I’m talking about don’t include people, certainly not my daughter!"
Hearing Qin Fangbin say this, Ye Xunhuan’s interest was piqued: "Let’s hear it!"
"Come closer, I need to whisper it to you!"
Ye Xunhuan, without the slightest hesitation, got up and moved his body, sitting on Qin Fangbin’s hospital bed.
The next moment, Qin Fangbin leaned forward and began whispering to Ye Xunhuan.
In no time, Ye Xunhuan’s expression started to change continuously.
......
What Qin Fangbin and Ye Xunhuan talked about, probably no one else will know besides the two of them.
Additionally, when Ye Xunhuan left the hospital, his expression had turned somewhat grave.
Clearly, Qin Fangbin had said something that weighed on him.
Ye Xunhuan left, but Qin Muge stayed behind in the hospital to take care of Qin Fangbin.
After all, Qin Fangbin was seriously ill, and although the hospital had staff, Qin Muge wasn’t assured and insisted on staying at the hospital.
After Ye Xunhuan left, Qin Muge looked at Qin Fangbin and asked, "Dad, what did you talk about with Xunhuan that made him look so upset?"
Though Qin Muge didn’t know what transpired between Ye Xunhuan and Qin Fangbin, she was sure that whatever upset him had something to do with Qin Fangbin.
Qin Fangbin glanced at Qin Muge and said, "Nothing, just talked about his mother."
"Maybe he thought about his mother again!"
Qin Muge suspiciously looked Qin Fangbin up and down, "Really?"
"What else could we have talked about!"
Qin Muge looked Qin Fangbin up and down again but didn’t ask further questions.
......
After leaving Xiehe Hospital, Ye Xunhuan went to the Qin family.
Of course, Ye Xunhuan went to the Great Qin family, the home of his grandfather, Qin Pojun.
On his way to the Qin family, Ye Xunhuan had already composed himself, so he appeared no different from usual, quite normal.
Ye Xunhuan was not visiting the Qin family for the first time, so everyone there recognized him, allowing him in without any hindrance.
Upon arriving, Ye Xunhuan headed straight for the backyard, intending to find Qin Pojun and see how the old man was doing lately.
At that moment, Qin Pojun was uninformed about Ye Xunhuan’s arrival and was leisurely relaxing in a wicker chair inside the house with his eyes closed.
Ye Xunhuan, familiar with the place, arrived at the backyard and called out openly, "Old man, old man..."
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s voice, Qin Pojun immediately opened his eyes, and a broad smile appeared on his face.
The next moment, Qin Pojun rose from the wicker chair and opened the half-closed door, "You summoning spirits..."
"I thought you wouldn’t make it through this winter!" Ye Xunhuan grinned as he saw Qin Pojun.
"Are you cursing me again..." Qin Pojun immediately puffed his beard and glared, looking at Ye Xunhuan with displeasure.
"No way!" Ye Xunhuan said with utmost seriousness, "With your build, even if you found a companion, you’d outlast them!"
"Get lost!" Qin Pojun said irritably, "I don’t want to see you at all."
